0:00.0	Hi, friend. I'm so grateful you've joined me on the Jesus Over Everything show. If you haven't heard the news, we have gone retro this summer. For the months of June and July, we are featuring our five word prayers daily. The show, this show started as, and so many of you love so much, five-minute podcast shows on topics of all kinds, the short inspiration you need for every day of the week.
0:22.7	So enjoy these shows, keep listening all summer, and see you right here back in August for a
0:28.7	powerful season six.
0:31.1	Hi, and welcome to the Five Word Prayers Daily, a five-day-a-week, daily devotional where we share
0:35.7	the word, prayers, and our heart. I'm Lisa Whittle,
0:38.5	and I welcome you to just five minutes with me, which I trust and pray will be five minutes well spent.
0:43.2	Well, this is our victory week on the Five-Word Prayers Daily. Who doesn't need some victory in our lives,
0:48.0	yes? So what do you think of when I say the word labels? Have you ever felt labeled before? I'm guessing you have. I definitely have and
0:56.3	not always fairly. And I have to admit, I don't like labels very much and I don't find them
1:00.6	particularly helpful in most cases. We're going to talk about labels on the show today. So,
1:05.2	stick around. I'm about to date myself, but please tell me you remember those label makers back when, and you had
1:14.2	one like I did, and at least for a few days went around making labels for everything and sticking
1:18.8	them onto things. Yes? No, just me? Okay, well, look, teens and 20-somethings listening. I remember
1:25.6	when I was about eight eight getting one of these for
1:27.7	Christmas. And it was literally my very favorite thing that Christmas. And I went around to random
1:32.6	things like the can opener. And I made a label can opener or whatever it was. And I stuck it on there.
1:38.2	True story. I labeled everything that year. I love my label maker, but I do not love labels. I don't like it when people lump me
1:46.2	into a category typically or when I hear people lump others into a category of some kind. Labels generally,
1:52.1	I don't find helpful. I remember a counselor once told me that the words always and never are not
1:58.7	good for our vocabulary, particularly when you're referring to someone.
2:02.9	You always or you never, like when you're in a fight. And this is what labels remind me of.
2:09.3	It's kind of like saying you are always in this category or you are never going to be in this
